My car was leaking gas and has fuel vapor smells inside the cabin. Strong smell of gas and when I started my car gas would leak alot. The recall number was (11V029000) and I was told I wasn't eligible for this. I had to bring my car to a local shop to get this checked out and they charged me $300 labor and $300 for the part. I am really frustrated about this situation. Please help

Vehicle just turned over 100,000 miles. 6-2020 upon a morning start, the vehicle had trouble starting up almost as if it had fuel starvation. I cranked the vehicle up a few more times it was ok it turned on. Upon driving the vehicle had extremely unreliable acceleration, very had sputtering from and to stop lights this was from my commute to work. The vehicle had become unpredictable, some days it would act like that some days it wouldn't. this started to bother me as I rarely worry about situations unless they're dangerous. Late 6-2020 on my way home from work at about 5:00pm the vehichle started sputtering about 1 mile away from my home. As I crossed the intersection of taylor and railroad street. The vehicle died on me at the intersection. I had thought this was just the car with the acceleration problem. So I proceeded to turned it back on. After 10 minutes of cranking the vehicle I had drained the battery completely. Car Is stranded, traffic was a huge build up behind me, vehicle ways well over 3000lbs so I attempted to quick charge the battery, after 10 minutes I had already bystanders help me push the vehicle to the side, due to the massive build up of traffic. 7-2020 after 2 seperate diagnostics I had replaced the fuel injector pump and a cold start valve at the engine. Car was running ok until mid 7-2020 when it began having the same exact issues again. As this was my only vehicle at the moment I had no other choice but to use it one week later after going to my mothers house from work. The vehicle decided to shut off on me completely this time on the road at 35 mph zone. Car seemed to starve of fuel and I had to quickly react since the car was in motion and luckily pullover. Fortunately it was a light day of traffic at the road of cook St. Thats when I had enough, I am complaining because this vehicle Is extremely unsafe and its an issue I can't solve!

I was inform by other Lexus that there are recall for 2006-2013 Lexus on serveral parts. I made a call to Lexus dealership of sacramento and spoke to representative she had also confirm the recal on my car and booked me an appointment several days later. I went to my appointment and was denied my services, they told me it had expired and that I had to pay for all my repairs. I was never notified about any recalls. I feel like I was rip off for being 17years old kid. I felt cheated.

The transmission on my car has issues jerking when in gear and stopping when in use. I took my car to a certified Lexus dealer and they could not repair it. I'm sure because it was no longer under warranty. I took it to a transmission machanic and I bought a 2006 IS250 used transmission from a car that was totaled that had less miles and was totaled because the frame was bent because it was rear ended. In less than a year same problem transmission again! I spent $4500 the first go around I couldn't afford that again. I had to buy another car for what I paid to repair the Lexus. I've checked for recalls yeah my dash has melted and all of the other recalls! I can't get those corrected!! I'm starting a class action lawsuit!!! I've spent to much money on a high class Toyota that has more problems than its worth!!!!

In late 2012 took my wife's Is 250 to the Lexus dealership due to heavy raw gas smell. The Lexus dealer in NJ stated that the issue was related to old spark plugs...had my first tune up for the vehicle at 100K miles. Well the smell didn't go away. We recently moved to fl and took the vehicle to a fl Lexus dealership. This time we forced them to hold the car over night as the raw gas smell is prominent in the a.M., then goes away. They found the fuel hose/fuel gasket from the engine to the fuel tank was leaking. Why couldn't the other dealer figure this out? looking up complaints on this web site suggests the fuel smell issue is common for the '06 Is 250 model. This was a very dangerous situation with my wife and 2 year daughter traveling in the vehicle on a daily basis. Shame on you Lexus. There should be a recall for '06 Is 250. Stop being cheap!! cost us $1,250-1,500.
